Feeling insanely, otherworldly relaxed after combining Avene's thermal spring water bath and lavendar bath salts. Like, beyond relaxed -- deep tissue massage relaxed. Must do this more often. Am having thoughts of renting a place in Iceland and spending a month soaking in the geothermal pools.

Flashback from Aspen: At the Caribou Private Members' Club
We (six of us) walk in and approach the woman at the front desk.
Hostess: Can I help you?
C: We'd like to have a drink at the bar.
Hostess: Are you a member?
C: No, but we're here for Aspen Fashion Week and they suggested we come by.
Hostess: Well, I'm afraid it's not possible, since this is a private members' club. You can't come in unless you're with a member.
C: But I wanted to see some Cougars!!!
Me (to C): Yes, I think that really helped our cause.

Sometimes I go on a Dartmouth nostalgia jag...
... and usually wind up ordering a bunch of stuff from the Coop. "Twilight Song" is my favorite Dartmouth song (there are many, alumni know all the words, it's kind of nuts).
My favorite lines:
"Brothers, while the shadows deepen,
While we stand here heart to heart,
Let us promise one another, In the silence 'ere we part.
We will make our lives successful,
We will keep our hands from shame
For the sake of dear old Dartmouth,
And the honor of her name.

Pet Peeve
At Denver I bought April Vogue and Dwell to read on the flight. After we board, I'm reading Dwell, and I put my pristine new Vogue in the seatback pocket in front of me.
A woman two seats down from me shouts over, "Hey, can I read your magazine?"
Me: What, the Vogue?
Her: Yes!
Me: Um, I just bought it.
Her: Can I read it?
So obv, there's no way for me to say no without looking like a total jerk. Even though I think it's super impolite that someone wants to read/use something I just bought that I haven't even looked at.
Anyway, I don't really have to make a decision, because she just reaches over and takes it out of the seatback pocket.
Me: Um, okay.
She opens the magazine and proceeds to lick her fingers every time she turns a page.
Ewwwwwwww.
I ended up tossing the Vogue because I couldn't bring myself to read something that had her spit on every page. Gross.

Hilarious cat photo
There can’t be many people who still believe that cats deliberately suffocate babies by sucking the breath out of them, but in case you’re one of them, they don’t. That doesn’t mean a sleeping cat couldn’t accidentally suffocate a newborn baby (there are a few documented cases), so it makes sense to keep the cat out of the baby’s room for the first couple of months."
